“It’s good to sleep less. We won’t suffer from insomnia at night.”
Hearing He Xing’s words, Du Yue turned to look at him. Seeing that he was still lying on the bed without moving, she urged, “Then do you still want to sleep?”
He Xing moved to the side and changed into a more comfortable position. “I’ll sleep for a little longer.”

“Let’s watch and pick out a few snacks. We’ll eat while watching!”
Du Yue, who was listening at the side, found it even more amusing. This person clearly wanted to laze around in bed and eat snacks, but he made it seem that he would be accompanying her. A moment later, a small wooden table was placed on the brick bed, and it was filled with all kinds of snacks. There was a tablet beside them, and Du Yue’s favorite show was playing on the screen. She had watched this drama dozens of times if not a hundred times. She could even recite everyone’s lines backward, but every time she wanted to watch something to kill time, Du Yue’s first choice was still this.
After watching seven or eight episodes in one go, the afternoon passed in a flash. Du Yue only sat up straight when she heard the knock on the door and Xia Ju’s voice. Seeing that the trash can on the ground had been filled with all kinds of snack bags, Du Yue subconsciously touched her stomach. “We ate so much, but my stomach still feels empty.”
He Xing also sat up. “Silly girl, snacks definitely can’t fill your stomach! It’s time for dinner.”
Du Yue looked at He Xing. Looking at his pitch-black and clear eyes, she felt that He Xing’s words made some sense. “You’re right. I’m satisfied after eating snacks, but having dinner is another matter. Hurry up and pack up. I’ll open the door.”
He Xing’s movements were very fast. The two of them got down from the bed, and Du Yue directly put everything into the space. The room returned to how it was when they first arrived. After everything was fine, Du Yue went over to open the door. Xia Ju entered the room. As soon as her right foot stepped in, she frowned and sniffed the air. “You guys ate shredded squid, spicy sticks, potato chips, and my favorite hawthorn slices…”
Du Yue listened from the side. Xia Ju could smell everything they had eaten. Her eyes widened in shock. “Your sense of smell is too good.”
Xia Ju sat on the edge of the brick bed, her brows full of pride. “Of course! You don’t know this, but my sense of smell is even better than a dog’s!”
Du Yue really did not know if she should praise her. Why did this person like to compare herself to a dog when she was excited?
“I was in a hurry earlier and forgot to give you some. After dinner, you can bring back some snacks for dinner. I’ll also give you a tablet. Do you want to watch TV shows or variety shows? I’ll find them for you.”
Xia Ju swung her slender legs by the bed. “I want hawthorn slices, jelly, and…”

She and He Xing were in the room for the entire afternoon, and they ate and drank a lot. Before eating, she wanted to go and make some space in her stomach.
The courtyard was relatively small, and there were only a few rooms. Du Yue found the toilet without much effort. The toilet was the most ordinary dry toilet, and Du Yue did not mind. When she washed her hands, Du Yue understood why the pit toilet was built here. There was no water pipe in the toilet. There was only a large water tank outside the door and a basin beside it. Whoever washed their hands had to scoop water from the vat themselves.
The young man had told them before that there was water in the water tank in the kitchen. They could wash up or drink it. From this, it could be seen that the water used by this young man’s house was fetched from other places.
It was tiring enough to fetch water every day. Du Yue did not know if the water was charged. Of course, she could not waste water by flushing the toilet. Du Yue was washing her hands when she heard voices coming from the alley, and they were getting closer and closer. “I brought your brother to do a big job today. A few new people came to the base in the morning and took on the job of plowing three mu of land in the experimental field in the development zone.
They didn’t want to do it, so they asked us to do it. After that, the manager gave us two loaves of cornbread.”
As Du Yue listened, she got an inkling that the person was talking about the three of them.
Before Du Yue could think further, she saw a man in his early 20s walking over with an old lady. Behind them was the young man who rented the rooms to Du Yue..
